The Integrated Curriculum for Vermont Educators (ICVE) was born out of the Series 2000- Education Quality Standards (EQS) that went into effect July 1, 2025, and the meaningful work of the Act 1 Working Group of 2019. The EQS states, “all Vermont students are afforded educational opportunities that are substantially equal in quality and are equitable, anti-racist, culturally responsive, anti-discriminatory, and inclusive.” What this looks like in theory and how to bring it to life in public education can feel overwhelming, and we offer ICVE to you as one example for how it could look. 

ICVE is a gift to educators to support this continual work in creating learning spaces that are inclusive, academically challenging, and full of joy. At the center of the ICVE circle, in the hexagon, is the Integrated Curriculum. The Integrated Curriculum is our vision for what teaching and learning might look like when we start with educational equity at the center of the design process.
